                          HON. ADAM B. SCHIFF

  Mr. SCHIFF. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Women's History 
Month. Each year, we pay special tribute to the contributions and 
sacrifices made by our Nation's women. It is an honor to pay homage to 
outstanding women who are making a difference in my Congressional 
District. I would like to recognize a remarkable woman, Janice Segall 
of Pasadena, California.
  Ms. Segall and her family moved a great deal during her youth, given 
her father was in the United States Air Force. After graduating from 
high school in Redlands, California, she attended the University of 
Redlands, University of California, Irvine and University of 
California, Berkeley, where she obtained her teaching credential.
  Ms. Segall had an outstanding nearly three-decade career with the Los 
Angeles Unified School District (LAUSD) as an elementary school teacher 
in east Los Angeles. During her time with the LAUSD, she also 
coordinated the Gifted and Talented programs, worked for the University 
of California, Los Angeles (UCLA)'s Writing Project, and was a math 
instructional coach for seven years. With an interest in combining 
literature and art, she was one of the first teachers in the young 
children's art programs, a collaborative effort with the Museum of 
Contemporary Art and LAUSD. After her retirement from LAUSD in 2011, 
she worked part-time for the UCLA Math Project as a coach-facilitator 
for the CGI Math Initiative in various schools across Los Angeles.
  Ms. Segall's volunteer activities have included serving the Ronald 
McDonald House Pasadena and as an after-school tutor at 826LA in the 
Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles. Her current volunteer activities 
include preparing lunches for Union Station Pasadena and fostering a 
puppy with Guide Dogs for the Blind. Passionate about supporting 
literacy and public libraries, she is Past President of the San Rafael 
Library Associates and currently President of The Friends of the 
Pasadena Public Library.
  A long-time resident of Pasadena, Ms. Segall enjoys spending time 
with her sons, Alex and Peter, and two grandsons, along with reading, 
movies, and hiking.
  I ask all Members to join me in honoring this exceptional, well-
respected woman of California's 28th Congressional District, Janice 
Segall.
